We recently sold another ViewHome™ along the Washougal River, and Debb checked in to see how they spent their first Christmas.  They are so grateful to live in their version of paradise -surrounded by nature, with the sounds of the river rushing past their home. They even had a few kayakers paddle by one sunny morning - each waving and acknowledging what a gift it is to be on the water.

In short, we've created a strong connection and consider them friends, first and foremost.

.45 Acres on the East Fork of The Lewis River
Recently, we were visiting our property along the East Fork of the Lewis River, clearing up the paths down to the river.  It's in a remote part of the county, but occasionally you hear the normal sounds of civilization - cars on the road and planes overhead.  Yet, while sitting along the bank and listening to the waterfall nearby, nature won out. The sounds of civilization dissolved into the background.
